Mike Lowell Holds Fundraising Event...Pedroia Embarasses Himself
Fenway West - A Boston Red Sox Blog —
Mike Lowell held a cancer fund raiser in Florida yesterday where there was a "Dancing with the Stars" component. Papelbon and Pedroia participated...here is what Pedroia and Tito said about the event: "[Papelbon's shirt] was terrible," Pedroia said. "I thought my body pulled it off, and his didn’t. That’s my personal opinion. A lot of women, they loved it." Pedroia threw his shirt to owner John Henry, nearly killing manager Terry Francona in the process. "I thought I was going to have a heart attack," Francona said. "My chest hurt, I was laughing so h.ard. Pedroia is ...
Red Sox Nation Is On Fire Right Now
FanIQ Blog —
I once lived in Boston for a brief time period. So I've seen Red Sox Nation up close and personal. Sometimes it's great, like when I watched Big Papi hit a game winning three-run home run against the Rangers in person. But other times, by which I mean most of the time, it's stupid beyond belief.
Case in point comes from multiple segments of the Nation today. First, courtesy of SPORTSbyBROOKS, is the heartwarming tale of an ass beating given by Red Sox fans to a Yankee fan. ...
Red Sox Attempt at World Domination Discovered

... very much) has been constructing the world’s most perfect man in the bowels of Fenway Park. He plans to use his creation to first rule the American League and eventually the entire world. Yes, it’s true. We were as shocked as you are when we finally figured it out. This Übermensch has the strength of David Ortíz , the brain of its creator, the speed of Coco Crisp (and now you know why he hasn’t been traded yet), the charisma and leadership of Jason Varitek , the flexibility and dancing of ...
Wednesday’s best and worst of fantasy baseball
The Fantasy Factor —
Three up
Grady Sizemore- Cleveland Indians (CF)
Vs. Chicago White Sox
3-for-4, 2 HR, 2 RBI, 4 R, BB, SB
Something tells me Mark Chmura would enjoy Grady Sizemore’s fan club a little more than Grady Sizemore does.
Dustin Pedroia- Boston Red Sox (2B)
Vs. Tampa Bay Rayz
4-for-5, HR, 2 RBI, 3 R
I doubt Pedroia is doing much dancing after that sweep.
Jay Bruce- Cincinnati Reds (CF)
Vs. Pittsburgh Pirates
2-for-3, 2 HR, 4 RBI, 2 R, BB
“Tenth! Tenth? Olsen ranked ME tenth!? What the….”
One down

Dustin Pedroia: Hitting Machine
Josh Q. Public —
I wish I was little bit taller. I wish I was a baller. I wish I had a girl who looked good, I would call her. I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat and a ‘64 Impala. -Skee Lo
Public Service Announcement: OK, here we go! Chicks may dig the long ball, but I love me some Dustin Pedroia. The Red Sox Destroyer. Better than Clete Boyer. Loved from here to Illinoiser. Big Papi loves him. Ortiz: “You don’t know how good this kid is, ...
Sun Devils in Professional Baseball Progress Report: Part 1
Fanster.com —
Andre Ethier - Pictured to the left during some rookie hazing in 2007. Even though the Dodgers are still in the hunt for the playoffs, Andrew Ethier is contributing less than in his first two seasons. He's on pace for his best season total in homeruns, but also his worst in terms of average and strikeouts. Part of his decline in numbers could be because he hasn't been able to find his groove in a 5-man rotation of Jones, Kemp, Rameriz, Pierre and himself. He could have easily faded in to oblivion with the Manny Rameriz addition, but has only improved since the Dodgers acquired ManRam. Takes out ...
"Daddy" Does it Again
Surviving Grady —
What more can we say about Dustin Pedroia? He came up big once again, helping Jon Lester and the Red Sox cut the deficit in the AL East to four games. And, he dances. Kinda.
Off-day Videos: ROTY - check, MVP - almost a check, Oscar - not so much...
The Bottom Line —
Dustin Pedroia hit .680 during this past home stand and is now leading the majors with a .333 BA... As the most unlikely of all cleanup hitters, he went 6 for 9 with 2 homers and 6 RBI in two games... He talks trash to 300-lb linemen ...
Every Google Deserves an Answer: World Series Edition
Oh, It's THOSE Girls: Baseball Blog —
I'm a firm believer that every possible question should be answered by Google. And lord knows there are some weird-ass questions out there. Sometimes I get a kick out of looking to see what Google keywords bring people to this blog...and answering the questions. It's my way of helping Google out. This is the World Series Edition. The Rays are a fairly new phenomena on the National front, so I guess it makes sense that people seem to have lots of questions about them. So let's get right to it. "Why Matt Garza spit so much?" [sic] This, my friend, is an excellent question, and one we don't really know the ...

One Down, 103 to Go: The Boston Steroid Story Left Untold
Heartbeat of the Bronx —
Alex Rodriguez was the ‘victim’ of a vendetta against the New York Yankees, as well as yet another book intended to ridicule the star slugger. I put ‘victim’ in quotes because any professional athlete who knowingly takes illegal substances to artificially impact his or her performance is not truly a victim. Regardless, it appears that a soon-to-be released book about A-Rod is being constructed by SI’s Selena Roberts. In many ways, she benefited the most by ensuring that he was left holding the smoking gun. Her selfish agenda gave her the incentive to leak A-Rod’s name and his alone. The Alex Rodriguez saga ...
